bizarrly clayish poop

Today I had the oddest experience. A first for me at least. I went to the toilet, assumed the pooping position, and could not get it out. I decided I needed to give it a little help with the toilet paper and found I was feeling something very hard. It began to get painful and I had to resort to finding a rubber glove (from the first aid kit) and some lubricant to get this stuff out. My poop had the hard hard consistency of thick clay. I've never had clay-like poop before! The only thing I can think of is that yesterday I had a migraine and I took three Excedrins when I would normally take Advil. Could this be caused by the extra strength headache medicine? Obiously I'm now not sitting comfortably and I have a wad of TP in my butt crack to stop the bleeding.

Vantina,

Thanks for the question.

The Exedrin more than likely had nothing to do with your constipation. I would venture a guess that you have not been getting enough fiber in your diet lately and not drinking enough water.

Either that, or you belong to the species Tachyglossus aculeatus (Spiny Anteater), whose diet of ants and dirt leads to their characteristic clay-like feces.

Hope this helps!

Wow! First someone writing in German and now French. Saw Spanish on another page. We seem to be getting a lot of foreign language posters on here. Wonder if there is a program to translate for us English-speaking one-language wonders.

Yup. One of the most convenient is the Language Tools option available right at the bottom of the Google page. Copy the text you want to translate, select from-to, and presto. Here's what got returned for the above post:

"I am 25 years old and am often constipee I take rectal injections is this harmful in more I urinate breeches thank you"

My poop almost always is the consistency of clay. It is no big deal, unless there are other things going on like bleeding, pain, or other mishaps.

About ...

PoopReport.com is a community with a unique agenda: we are an intellectual poop site. A salon. A brokerage house that specializes in a specific category of humor: brown humor (vs. gallows humor or black humor). We explore, even meditate upon the human condition from the vantage point of pooping and poop. In a way, this is a site for philosophers, sociologists and amateur theologians.

Sometimes we talk about sex, but there's no erotic agenda. (There are other sites for that.) Because PR is a community and not a porno site, we do not come here to get our rocks off. And that also means we don't come to PR to be used as objects by voyeurs, or use others as objects. Voyeurism destroys mutuality. PoopReport.com is rooted in mutuality because it celebrates the universality of poop.
